natural playing - wonderful dances - surprising encounters

We roll on the floor, scuttle like bugs, side by side, and slide through under other kids, slip along other kids‘ bodies like on a slide and land softly on the floor as if it was a pillow. We jump around like rubber balls, catch each other, tumble, roll, fly with the support of others, play like young dogs, are smooth and silent like cats on velvet paws, sometimes scuffle wildly. We crawl close to the floor like lizards, sink onto the floor like a melting icicle. We let our bodies get heavy like sacks of flour, to become light as a feather and twirl through space in the very next moment.

Kreativer Kindertanz für 4 -6 Jährige

Childrens‘ joy in motion, their natural impulse to move forms the core and starting point of this workshop. Kids follow their natural impulse to move, supported by their natural motion. Forms like running, jumping, spinning, sneaking, walking, crawling, rolling will be taken and varied creativitely.
In our fantasy and imagination we become dancing animals, plants, objects and more. Materials like tissue, paper, ropes and music of different kinds, from Bach to African folk-songs inspire us to diverse qualities of movement. New things will be tried in a play like manner.
Small choreographies are based on songs, sayings and rhymes, spontaniously picked up by the childrens‘ impulse to imitate and memorised through repetition. Thereby the feeling for rhythm, body and motion is experienced. The unity of the sense for motion and the outer form is expressed.
In all those processes we are accompanied by imaginative power, inner images and fantasy, movement-games and dance lead us through wild and animate sequences to quiet, focused action and to relaxing moments. Thus the variety of movement is expanded.
In this variety the children can express their own personality and individuality by dancing.
